They had the resources to survive and the tech to dominate.

So why did they lose to Apple?

Here’s the shocking truth behind their downfall: 🧵 Image
Image
During early 2000s, BlackBerry was "the smartphone."

It was the device that made you look like a true professional.

In fact, the company became synonymous with productivity, especially among executives & politicians.

McDonald's had 14,000 US locations. Burger King? Just had 7,000.

They couldn't compete on convenience. So they decided to compete on creativity.

Enter "The Whopper Detour campaign":

The concept was simple, yet brilliant,

Offer a 1-cent Whopper to anyone within 600 feet of a McDonald's.

But here's the twist: customers had to order through the BK app.

In 2015, Apple tried to CRUSH Spotify.

-Threatened to remove them from App Store
-Demanded 30% of all revenue

But Spotify's response was a genius one.

By 2015, Spotify was growing fast:

Their weapon? Apple Music.

Their advantage? Control of the App Store.
